I can't hear any negative effect of tilting the center channel up to point at my ears in my main listening position. I can hear negative effects of not doing this.
I was impressed by how dialog cleaned up by tilting up. Not that it was bad just pointing straight ahead plumb and level. But tilting up increased crispness and intelligibility a bit. Well worth doing IMHO.
When listening to music (a few 5.1 music bluray discs I've got) I can't tell any difference at all.
This could be just me of course, or my listening room. But there's absolutely no reason at all that you can't run the experiments yourself, in your room with your equipment, and find out what works (or doesn't work) for you. It's not like it takes much time or effort. Give it a shot and tell us what you hear.
